RISE OF EROS-Chapter 678 - 577

The men of Purgatory had arrived at the outskirts of the dragons’ territory. As they had agreed, they did not go into battle, as it would be suicide and although these men were deranged fanatics, they followed orders.

It is surprising to see how a large number of people of all races and with great powers have become fanatics of the philosophy of this organization. In their minds, reviving the fallen god was the means to obtain the world they so desired, so they spared no effort to achieve this goal, even if it meant giving up their lives.

Even so, they were not stupid. They knew that there were powerful enemies and that they could not act madly. This was the strangeness of this organization. They were all crazy enough to embark on this mission, but they acted rationally.

That made them dangerous because their goal was nefarious and a person in their rationality would not prefer such a situation, but they accepted it, and they did not act like madmen, but in a calculated manner.

They had a defined power structure, and chain of command, and they carried out their missions thoroughly. Such an organized movement should not agree with a group like this, but it was what happened.

The plan was to stalk the dragons, but not attack them. Only if the dragons attacked them would they respond, and they would only do so while retreating. Their mission was not to win the battle and eliminate the dragons, but to keep them on alert so they could not support their allies.

Their plan was working wonderfully, as the dragons were on high alert. They had already seen the enemies, but Crhono had prevented them from attacking. Crhono is a very intelligent and experienced strategist, so he understands the enemy’s plan. For this reason, he did not ask his dragons to attack, as he knew it would be a waste of time.

Also, although he trusted in the strength of his clan, he still had to maintain the defenses, as the remnants of the fallen god in his possession were more important than anything else.

On the other hand, he had already sent a group of dragons towards Cannes City, to provide support to Zaros and Lugia in protecting Andrew. Although he didn’t know that they were being attacked, he suspected that it could happen.

Anyone with half a brain would know that, with so many powerful demigods gathering in Cannes City, something must be hiding there. Purgatory has proven to have a strong information network, so it wouldn’t be strange if Andrew was discovered after what happened.

Furthermore, Lortad, one of Purgatory’s leaders, had already found Andrew’s location before, so it wasn’t strange that Purgatory already knew this information.

Although the dragons sent by Crhono hadn’t left for long when the enemies appeared, it was enough for them to travel kilometers. These dragons are demigods, their movement speeds are not something to be underestimated.

Although Crhono had asked the dragons not to attack, that didn’t mean he would let them stare at them like rabbits locked in a cage. While he understood the strategy, Crhono was still a dragon and had his pride.

He wouldn’t be intimidated as if he had no teeth and although he didn’t allow the enemy to be chased, he did allow ranged attacks. The dragon race doesn’t seem very different from the others.

They are humanoid beings with horns on their heads and eyes with vertical pupils like reptiles, but that is an appearance they have adopted. Dragons are beasts after all.

It is more convenient to have this appearance, but their true form is that of a huge lizard with scales, claws, and wings. Some reached hundreds of meters, so they are not small beings at all.

They are practically highly lethal flying tanks. Therefore, several of them adopted their true forms and with loud roars, they launched flames, lightning, and powerful winds from their mouths.

The fusion of these three elements created a vortex of chaos that destroyed kilometers and also eliminated many of the enemies. Dragons have different elements from humans when using magic.

Fire and thunder are the most destructive and when combined with the wind a synergy is created that magnifies the power, that is why Crhono had sent dragons with these elements to attack.

Despite being at a great distance, the destruction they caused was surprising. The landscape changed in seconds and many enemies were disintegrated on impact as if they had never existed.

Upon noticing this, the members of Purgatory understood that the dragons were more powerful than they thought and that even being so far away they were within their attack range, so they retreated a few hundred meters.

Their plan remained the same. They would not attack, they would only lurk. Despite having suffered losses, they did not attack like crazy but rather followed the plan and that was somewhat terrifying.

Even Crhono could feel concerned when seeing how they acted. Although he already knew it, seeing it firsthand was more impressive. Like those who for anyone would be crazy, keeping a cool head and following the plan to achieve their goals.

They were like a well-trained army. Sometimes, it was not the strongest army that won, but the most disciplined and there was no doubt that Purgatory had the most disciplined army he had ever seen.

Despite his concern, Crhono did not panic. He ordered the dragons to stand guard and if they saw the enemies approaching, to attack again. He reiterated his command not to pursue them.

Although many young dragons did not understand the reason for this order, Crhono’s authority would not be challenged. On the continent, there was not a single soul who did not know Crhono and his power, so the dragons who lived with him obviously understood his power.

Purgatory might have the most disciplined army, but the dragons were not that much inferior. Even if the reason for the discipline was different, it did not change the fact that both served their purpose.

Meanwhile, in the city of Cannes, the leaders of Purgatory had already noticed that Zaros and the others would not attack them. Their plan to take advantage of this to kill Andrew was not viable, so they had to take other measures.

They still did not know that dragon reinforcements were on the way, but they still decided to act. Although they had blocked the dragons, they were not so naive as to think that they could hold them off forever.

They knew that if the dragons wanted to, they could destroy the blockade in a short time, but they also knew that Crhono would not attack easily. They played with the ancient dragon’s caution.

They understood that Crhono would not take hasty measures, because the dragons’ territory also had things that they wanted. They bet that the ancient dragon would be conservative and move cautiously.

They knew that they had some time to make their move and they were not wrong, the problem was that they did not know that Crhono had gotten ahead of them and made his move before they made theirs.
